Experiences made with the systematic aerodynamic development process of a bobsleigh are presented. The challenges and the potentials of the preliminary design phase and of the detail optimization phase are discussed. It is demonstrated that the appropriate application of the tools and methods leads to a considerable increase in the product quality. The challenges that arise from field testing under...
CFD-simulations were conducted to simulate the flowfield around a bobsleigh. A simplified crew model of the pilot and the brakeman of a 2-man bobsleigh was generated. The model was used to perform the fully automated optimization of the crew posture and position. Furthermore, a genetic optimization algorithm from the software package DAKOTA was used in order to search for the optimum crew position...
